just cause I haven't written in forever and a day...
Things new in my life:
1) Have passed my Human Resources National Exam *phew and WOOHOO* so I am now 1/2 officially and HR person.. I still have another test to write (for another *small* fee of $596) within 5 years before I can officially call myself a "Certified Human Resource Professional (CHRP)". Right now I'm just a CHRP Candidate. *sigh*
2) My job was finally posted as permanent and I have applied and am waiting to get an interview. Yes.. I actually have to interview for the job I have been doing for over a year. Don't ask, cause I don't know.. supposedly its to make the recruiting process more "fair" (even though the poor schleps who actually apply won't have a hope in hell, cause I already have the job) Gotta love the government!! :S
3) Had an interesting discussion with the boyfriend last night about purchasing the house we are in now (which belongs to his parents) and moving into the upstairs master bedroom and kicking his parents into the basement. Had to have LOTS of control to not scream in agony at the thought of living with them for longer than I have to. Its not that I dislike them, in fact we get along FANTABULOUSLY.... I just want MY space.. to do MY things.. in MY house, before we have kids.you know... like clean the house naked or something.. :D
Needless to say.. the conversation lasted about 30 min and ended with a resounding NO from me and capitulation from E about losing his childhood home to strangers.. (we may yet buy them out down the road.. but only if they are moving to another house!!)
4) News this morning was 2 (count 'em...2) stories of murder-suicide families.. one being Chris Benoit and his 7 yr old son and wife. The other, a family of 4 that lived down the street from where I lived as a child (literally.. about 3 blocks from the Troutbeck house). The 3 people are dead.. the one who tried to commit suicide, is in critical condition. Here comes the non-sympathetic Tess... put him the Highway and watch the cars try to avoid him .. *oops* that one "didn't" miss.
Idiot..
Other than that.. nothing going on.
Bak to work I go...
